This paper presents a shape descriptor for 3D meshes using a graph to represent a polyhedral mesh which is then used to extract patterns from the shape. The use of Subdivided Shape-Curvature-Graphs makes it possible to not ...

A large-scale scanned 3D environment suffers from complex occlusions and misalignment errors. The reconstruction contains holes in geometry and ghosting in texture. These are easily noticed and cannot be used in visually ...

Monte Carlo methods for physically-based light transport simulation are broadly adopted in the feature film production, animation and visual effects industries. These methods, however, often result in noisy images and have ...

Modern physically based rendering techniques critically depend on approximating integrals of high dimensional functions representing radiant light energy. Monte Carlo based integrators are the choice for complex scenes and ...

This paper presents a novel GPU-based algorithm for smoke animation. Our primary contribution is the use of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) compressed space for efficient simulation. We show that our method runs an order ...

Human motion capture data has been widely used in data-driven character animation. In order to generate realistic, naturallooking motions, most data-driven approaches require considerable efforts of pre-processing, including ...

Curvature estimation is very popular in geometry processing for the analysis of local surface variations. Despite the large number of methods, no quantitative nor qualitative studies have been conducted for a comparative ...

We propose a novel approach to create generative models for distinctive stylistic locomotion synthesis. The approach is inspired by the observation that human styles can be easily distinguished from a few examples. However, ...

The concept of ''Schelling points'' on 3D shapes has been explored for points on the surface of a 3D mesh. In this paper, we introduce the notion of ''Schelling meshes'' which extends the Schelling concept to 3D meshes as ...

Motion style is important as it characterizes a motion by expressing the context of the motion such as emotion and personality. Yet, the perception and interpretation of motion styles is subjective and may vary greatly ...
